The official Fallout New Vegas thread

I can only hope that the new Fallout game is better than Fallout 3 even though Fallout 3 was good, there are definitely room for improvement, but I am just curious to know wether or not its going to be a RPG or not, I guess we will just have to wait.

Well Obsidian are great rpg developers, but they got big shoes to fill. i think we'll just have to wait and see. But i have high hopes. That is as long as the game isnt rushed with a deadline. One of Obsidians saddest moments was when the sequel to Kotor came out. the game was full of bugs and incomplete quest lines. But what was their showed huge potential, if only stupid Lucas Arts hadnt forced them to release an incomplete game, it very well could have been one of the best rpg's ever, even better then the original Kotor.

This sounds to me like something that started as DLC and grew too big. I'm interested to see a post apocalyptic Las Vegas, and how Bethesda continues to tell the Fallout story. I'm still skeptical, but I'm watching it very closely.

First off, yes it's an RPG and it's said by Bethesda that it will have very similar gameplay like Fallout 3.

Second, are you insane!?! Better than Fallout 3! Not as much work is being put in Vegas because they worked on Fallout 3 for years. Also, Fallout 3 is the best game I've ever played by far. The only game I would ever award a 10/10. So to improve on that would be just drop-dead epic which will probably not be til Fallout 4 or maybe Elder Scrolls 5. So yeah, get your head on straight. New Vegas is excepected some time in 2010 BTW.

I liked Kotor 2 so much. It did have potential but some things never were complete as you said. I wanted complete relationships with my party members but I felt like when I have developed a relationship it just couldn't go any further. I always wished the 3rd Kotor would be like Mass Effect and let you carry over data from the 2nd.

Also, check out this IGN article about Fallout New Vegas from a while back.

If it's as addicting as Fallout 3, where people have played it for over a year already, like me, then it will be equal, if not better, than Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was great, so Obsidian has some big shoes to fill in.
